Secretary Lamar's invitation to Mr..
Sparks TO resign has accomplished its
object and the commissioner OF the gen.
eral land Office has notified the president
that he is ready to step down and out.
Mr.. Sparks, however, was not content
with simply handing in his resignation,
but accompanied it with letter justi-
flying his course and giving the public
the benefit of his statement OF the exist
ing difficulty. This reply is in strong
contrast to the arrogant communication
of the secretary Of the interior,
but it contains number of statements
which, If Mr.. Lamar desires the esteem
of the masses, demand an answer. Mr..
Sparks devotes his reply to the legal as
poets Of the case and not, as did the Sec
retary, to the etiquette of Office. He as
serts that Mr.. Lamar's letter sis sub
stitution of force for argument, diver
sion OF the public mind from the merits
of the case" The cause of the trouble
in the department is shown TO be
regard to the land grants OF the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad, which decision was
overruled by the secretary. To this ac-
tion Mr.. Sparks formally protested on
purely legal grounds, and in reply re-
ceived the latter from Mr.. Lamar which
resulted in the resignation.
Without regard to the merits
of the case over which the
controversy arose, there is no
question as to Mr. Sparks faithfulness
in the performance of his duties. From
the time of his appointment to the pres
ent he has been the terror of land
sharks and corporate robbers who have
endeavored to dishonesty obtain pos
session of the public domain. BY this
class OF rascals his retirement from
Office will be. received with joyous ap-
proval and Secretary Lamar's course
will be lauded. But by the honest set
tier and the public generally Mr..
Sparks resignation will be considered
Il blow TO the rightful administration of
the affairs of the land office.

Democratic Confidence.

The democrats who are focking TO
Washington are described as beaming
with confidence. They have very good
reason to feel happy and hopeful. But
it will be wise OF them to set a judicious
limit to their Joy, for it is year until
the presidential election and in the in
terval there is to be a session of con-
gress which may have results disastrous
to their hopes. The capacity OF the
democratic party for laundering is pro-
verbal, and it is confronted with grave
duties and responsibilities which will
give it great opportunity for showing
its peculiar faculty.
If the people have overlooked the
utter failure of the democrats to accom-
plish anything for the public welfare in
the last congress, it must not
be concluded that in the event
of another failure the people will
again overlook it. They are expecting
that party, having control of the next
house of representatives and responsible
for legislation, to do something, and
they are certain to be very much dis
pleased if it does not meet this expecta-
tion. If the party shall again show, as
it has hitherto done, that it is incapable
of formulating policy regarding the
question in which the people are most
deeply concerned that the representa-
tives of the party can unite on, it may
happen that the people will see the folly
of longer reposing confidence in the
party. There is pretty general impa-
tience for relief from oppressive tax
alton, and if the democratic party can
not agree upon what should be done, if
it lacks the wisdom to define policy and
the courage to carry it through, then the
people may calculate that it will be
better to turn the matter over to q
party that will have policy and will
put it into effect. Anything might be
better than to do nothing.
The indications are that the demo-
Gratis will get no nearer to accomplish
ing anything in tho next congress on
the question of tariff revision and re-
duction than they did in the last. With
a reduced majority they are divided and
undecided not only in this but all other
| questions of legislation. The faction
that holds the majority in check is rela-
lively stronger than in the last house,
and it does not appear to be any less
disposed to dictate terms. 1t is possible,
but hardly probable, that the majority
will yield. Much may depend upon the
wishes of the president, who un.
doubtedly will have great deal more
to say than hitherto, and very
likely with more effect. He un.
derstands how necessary il
is that the party shall do something
and, having much at stake, will not
spare any effort to bring the represen'
tatives of the party into line in support
of some policy. But the outlook for &C
complishing this is certainly not favor
able, and another failure will leave the
democracy very little upon which tc

THE stone-cutters of Omaha protest

THE stone-cutters of Omaha protest
against convict labor contractors fur
nishing the stone for the city hall. And
it is right that they should. tits under
stood that Mr.. Stout is interested in
one of the bids, which means, il accepted, +,
that convlcts will cut the stone mt
Lincoln, thus dcpriving honest laborers
OF what is Justly due them, and what
they have right to expect. All things
being equal, convict labor should never
be allowed to compete with honest work
ingmen. 1t is to be hoped that the bid
behind which is Bill Stout with his
prison labor, will be rejected.

1t is evident that so far as the service
of the office of comptroller of the cur
rency relates to tho matter of protect
ing the public against crookedness in
bank management it is not effective. If
it were so it is reasonably certain that
such failures as that OF the Fidelity
bank of Cincinnati and the Fifth Ma
tional of St. Louis, at we'll as others less
notable, could not have occurred. 1t is
obvious that there must be great lack
of care and attention on the part of the
comptroller's Office when, rs in the case
of the st. Louis bank, it was found to
have been insolvent for four years. No
such state of affairs could have con-
tinued il that institution had been sub
iected to such an examination rs the law
contemplates, but which as u matter of
fact is very rarely given to any bank.
The usual practice OF most bank exam
iners is to accept the statements Of the
bank officials and omit that personal ex-
animation of every detail which the law
requires them to make, and this prac-
tice has been tacitly endorsed by the
comptroller's bureau for years. For the
want of stricter supervision bank ex-
animation has become TO great extent
merely perfunctory proceeding, the
results of which are no longer regarded
by the public with any degree of conf
dence.

Our Sidewalk system.

An ordinance passed some weeks ago
regulating sidewalks calls for uniform
ity in construction. The ordinance re-
mains practically o dead letter. Side
walks are being built every day on our
principal streets, and there is no more
attention paid to the curb grade than if
there was none.
The result is that instead of having
uniform and even walks they are up and
down, topsy-turvy, uninviting and dan
gerous. Pedestrians choose the middle
of the street rather than endanger life
and limb.
This could all be avoided with but lit
tie additional cost. But it must be
understood that every property owner
who puts down sidewalks must get the
curb grade and build to it.
There is no use to build corduroy
roads in Omaha. What we want are
respectable sidewalks.

TO command the attention of congress.
Unquestionably the great majority of
the banks of the country are honestly
managed on sound business principles.
But it will not do TO be satisfied
with assuming this to be so. 1t must be
known. The law provides way for OBJ
tanning this knowledge, and the system
has been regarded as wise and sufficient.
Perhaps it would be found SO II exc
cuted with thorough efficiency. The evil
dence, however, is that either the law is
defective or ii is not properly admins

the trouble may be it be found and

The question OF restricting immigra-
tion will undoubtedly come before con-
gress at its next session, and a very
strong pressure will be made in favor of
extreme legislation on this subject.
Congressman already in Washington
are already quoted as OF the opinion
that congress will enact legislation so
as to make it impossible for the an
archist leaders OF Europe to come here.
1t is not unlikely that congress will also
be asked to enact a law under which an
archists can be exiled from the country.
There is great danger that this sort of
legislation may be carried too far.
Granting all that can be said regarding
the desirability of excluding those
people who coming here might make
trouble, and of getting rid of those al
ready here who do make trouble, it will
be wise to consider the possible
cost of such policy to our liberties.
Having started on this line of exclusion
and repression where might it not lead
to? Can we be sure that having kept
out and driven out the foreign agitators
the time would not come when Amer
leans would have check put upon their
right of free speech? Can we afford to
sacrifice liberty of speech for the sake
of muzzling few men who preach doc
trines hostile to our institutions? Those
who advocate such policy confess u
fear that American institutions rest on
basis so insecure that they can be
shaken by the vapid declamations of
these agitators, but it is hardly to be
believed that any considerable number
of tho American people have any
such fear. On the contrary,
we believe the great majority of
our people regard our institutions
as entirely safe against the Trades of
anarchists and all other enemies, and
are certain 10 remain SO while the prin-
ciples upon which they are founded are
! maintained. One Of the most important
OF these is the liberty of speech, and 1t
will be time to fear for our institutions
when that liberty is restrained by lcgis-
lation. Lawlessness should be punished.
Make the penalties as severe as may be
deemed necessary for violence commit
ted in the name of any cause. But leave
intact the right OF free speech.
